SketchUp 7.1?

[BTM]

The Collada exporter works well; with the KMZ > ZIP > folder method, I noticed textures wouldn't always work properly. Now they do, and it seems to separate into objects by material, like kerkythea seems to do with it's exporter.

One issue I noticed with the new exporter, at least when I import into Blender, is that the size of the model is gigantic, and has to be scaled considerably ( a minor nuisance).

I myself don't believe in multi core, but this is what happens when I rotate and stop rotating my model 3 times.

From reading between the lines, I know for some months that the SU team was working on a new rendering engine. They are so proud of it, I can not believe they would keep multi core still secret.

i hope i never have to pick my toolbars off the floor again! any news if THAT issue has been fixed.

[Chris Fullmer]

That has not been fixed. But there is a UI reset button. I tihnk it mostly helps if you lose a toolbar on a 2nd monitor that is no longer plugged in though... So probably no help for the real toolbar issue.

My toolbars seem perfectly stable now; they stick exactly where I place them. I'm on Windows XP SP2.

We'll be upgrading our licenses from v.6 to v.7 now.
Thank you Google!

A faster SU (could still improve a lot though), much better Layout, UI reset, etc.... Very good!

Now let's hope GSU team can continue on the same pace for next release.
I have the feeling they are on the right track now.

I agree Kwist, finally a reason to pay for upgrading from pro 6.

Version 7.1 sounds worth the upgrade, and I did try to update my Pro on Vista this morning. But the update failed. I'll try again when I get back to my office this evening and post details of the error if it re-occurs, but has anyone else had problems with the upgrade?

[Gaieus]

Did you try an automatic update from SU or a straight download of the exe file from the SU site first?

I used the automatic update link, but this just downloaded the EXE any way. I used Run as Administrator on the downloaded file.

[JuanV.Soler]

in both,
SketchUp and LayOut

Hm. I don't know what the issue can be - true that I am on an XP (hopefully someone using Vista can chime in).

If it fails again, can you report it in the Bug Reports subforum? I believe "Googlers" will be monitoring that department more frequently in the near future.

[remus]

The download may have corrupted, so it might be worth downloading it again just in case.

Great, it spins around SU7. Support of larger models is very helpfull and it seems that zooming was improved as well.
Switching on camera parallel projection I can zoom into small details almost indefinitely..

Omission of Dwg/Dxf import in free version ... well SU 6 will fix that....and I will probably upgrade to PRO 8.. 9 later ( depends on 2D tools improvements in LayOut..etc)

[steelers05]

very good news to wake up to. It is a step in the right direction and hopefully it is a sign of things to come. Lets see how SU likes some xfrog trees now.

[Gaieus]

Well, take it easy with those xfrogs
